Chapitre 440: The Instigation

Selma Payne's POV:

The only thing I could do now was to struggle with all the options I could think of.

Just as the Great Elder had predicted, only a few people chose to leave with the evacuation team. Even if thousands of people left, there was still an endless sea of people in front of the city gate. The people themselves didn't trust the interim government much, and what made things worse was the backstabbing from some 'big shots'.

They were unwilling to leave no matter what, as if this was the only escape route. The people were even more convinced that they couldn't leave. After all, the big shots always cherished their noble lives and would not let themselves be like ants in the whirlpool of danger, leaving it to fate, right?

Such an attitude made the Great Elder extremely angry, but unfortunately, he had no way to deal with these stubborn people.

The water level rose, and when it reached knee-high, there were only thirty minutes left.
